Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

23-year-old Louis Smith won Bronze and Silver Medals at the Beijing and London Olympics, specialising in the pommel horse, and is currently one of the 'celebrity' contestants in the British TV version of Strictly Come Dancing. He's been wowing the audiences with his sexy dance routines, even though he's never done any ballroom dancing before, so since he's as charming as he is gorgeous, hopefully he'll win the contest. If you can phone in with a telephone vote for him each Saturday, please do! ... Here are some pics and a link to a You Tube clip for his cha-cha routine, this being his first dance of the series ... ...

Re: Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

I think his personality comes over far more in the interviews on You Tube, whether for his gymnastics or for Strictly. He admits to being nervous and also to concentrating hard on his dance moves, but maybe his personality will blossom more each week ... With a couple of queens on the panel he should do well (Bruno Tonioli is ludicrously outrageous) but Louis will be getting my phone vote every week, that's for sure ...

Re: Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

There were a few amusing moments on Channel 4 News when Jon Snow, the presenter, was interviewing Louis and a fellow female athlete about the launch of the Olympic gear they were wearing. "That is some body" said Snow and Louis immediately got up and dropped his blue track suit bottoms to reveal a tight red leotard, while Snow, bearing in mind it was 'live' TV, anxiously enquired "How far are you going?" ...

'I've only ever dated one girl': Louis Smith reveals he'd rather have a cuddle than sex in interview with childhood pal Aston Merrygold

He's been enjoying the celebrity lifestyle ever since winning a silver medal at the Olympics and joining Strictly Come Dancing.

But Louis Smith reveals he isn't keen on taking advantage of his new found heartthrob status.

The Olympic gymnast, who is one of the favourites of this year's Strictly line-up, has revealed he has only ever had one serious girlfriend.

Not a womaniser: Louis Smith, pictured her at the Pride of Britain Awards last week, has revealed he's only had one girlfriend

The 23-year-old joined his pal Aston Merrygold, of JLS fame, in an interview with ES Magazine, where he made the revelations.

The two guys grew up together in Peterborough and have managed to remain a close friendship, despite both of their hectic work schedules.

But unlike pal Aston who's enjoying the single lifestyle, Louis reveals he'd rather avoid women all together. ‘I’ve had one girlfriend. But I try not to get involved with women, because… they’re f***ing complicated,’ he said. And while Aston is trying convince his heartthrob pal to enjoy the perks of being a famous Olympian, Louis remains adamant he would rather wait for someone special.

He also reveals he's not keen on girls as he finds talking to them 'draining'.

‘We’re two very different people,’ said Louis.

‘I said to him, “I can’t wait to settle down, have kids, blah blah blah.” He says: “What are you talking about? You need to get out there!”'

But despite his best friend trying to get him to live up to his heartthrob status, the Strictly star simply isn't interested.

‘Seriously, I would rather take a girl back and spoon than sleep with her,’ Louis says.

Re: Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

Just because he prefers a cuddle, it doesn't mean he is gay. If all men wanted from a woman was sex then they wouldnt get marrried or be in long term relationships. The more obvious reason a good looking man has had few girlfriends would be an over protective mother and him not wanting to betray her.

Well, he's not much use to a girlfriend if he'd rather have a cuddle than sex. Nobody would want that life. Cuddle instead of sex? She will be gone sooner than he can blink.

- Martine, London UK, 10/11/2012 6:06

Obviously he has not met the kind of girl who could rock his world.

- Gracyle, England, United Kingdom, 9/11/2012 16:25

Maybe you are just boring!!

- Karen, Toronto, 9/11/2012 16:34

I can't say I like Louis's language, but I like his sentiment that he'd prefer to find a special girl, get married and settle down, rather than sleep around. I like him on Strictly, he came to the show with no dance experience, unlike some of the other contestants, and has proved to be a superb natural. He's not a show off or a showman, and he seems quite shy, but he is brilliant on the dance floor. I hope he doesn't succumb to the lifestyle advocated by his friend, and sticks to his own principals and finds that special girl. I imagine he'd make a lovely husband.

- Sam Wender, London, United Kingdom, 9/11/2012 16:45

You can spoon me any time Louis.

- Francesca1105, Dorset, 9/11/2012 16:48

I'd spoon with him! Lol seriously though it's so refreshing to hear such a young, good looking and talented guy talk like that in this day and age, it's a shame there aren't more like him with this sort of respectful attitude towards women and relationships.

- Clouise, Manchester, uk, 9/11/2012 17:01

So funny, a few weeks ago he said he'd finished with a girl he was seeing in the summer to have a pop at kimberly from girls aloud on strictly lol. Me thinks he's taken some criticism for sounding like a tool, so is trying to show the "real" him... haha

- LF, wherever, United Kingdom, 9/11/2012 17:05

He's a very hot guy, but would be even better if he lost that haircut. Maybe it's to deter slightly older women like me - a good deterrent!!

Re: Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

Well, I shall be glued to Strictly tonight for any tell tale signs that he is gay. I suspect he is straight but very introverted. Finds it hard to talk to anybody not just girls. There is a picture of him reading a comic online. Which may prove his introversion. I love introverts they tend to be more genuine then extroverts who can be slighty false in their behaviour.

And if a sex tape between him and Aston were to show up...it would make my year.

Re: Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

I fear Louis is not getting the best marks from the judges, so I don't expect he'll be the winner ... It looks like Denise van Outen, who has had some dance experience, unlike Louis, will probably come out tops

Re: Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

Carla and Melissa said they were under the impression that Louis had other intentions when he took them back to his hotel room, and were taken by surprise when the star bizarrely started watching pre-recorded episodes of himself on Strictly instead.

Carla told The Sun: 'Nothing physical happened between us and Louis.

'He was only interested in showing us pictures of himself and watching TV.'

Saying she found the encounter quite odd, the glamour model added: 'Most men are interested in more physical things. He showed us his hair straighteners.'
After spending several hours watching Strictly, Carla spend the night on the sofa as Melissa slept in the guest bed.
The glamour model also said she was taken aback by the amount of beauty products the star had in his hotel room, saying there were dozens of creams and sprays on display.
The twins eventually left the hotel at 4pm on Sunday.

Re: Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

^^^ Thanks for the pic enlargement ... Well, Louis is through to next week's final, so we'll see how it goes ... He said he was very nervous in yesterday's show and various bloggers have said how poor the live backing music was, particularly one of the vocalists ... Still, Louis said he might be losing a few items of clothing for next week's show, so I think it will be essential viewing

Re: Louis Smith - Hot UK Gymnast / Sexy Strictly Come Dancer

Talking about his popularity amongst women, Louis told the Daily Record: 'I appreciate all my support whether it is male or female. It comes with the territory when you wear a leotard. I just go with it.'
